Chapter 523: Chapter 523 Outbreak of the Great War

During the time Lin Chen was in seclusion, the battle between Jade Cauldron Kingdom and Xuan Yin Sect had also reached its ultimate stage.

After discussion, many generals decided to deploy troops to the Xuan Yin Sect’s stronghold, aiming to eradicate it completely.

Once the generals had made their decision, they reported it to Lin Chen for instructions.

In the Jade Cauldron Kingdom at that time, Lin Chen was regarded as the monarch, and all the power of the War Department was directly under his command.

However, since Lin Chen was in seclusion, these powers were temporarily entrusted to Xu Ma’an.

After a discussion with Yang Yuemin and others, Xu Ma’an ultimately agreed to their plan.

The current battle was not just a fight between Martial Artists; both sides had mobilized all their forces, including armies, warships, Spiritual Formations, and Talisman Inscriptions. All means of combat were fully deployed.

Xu Ma’an asked Yang Yuemin to stay and guard Stone Heaven City, while he and the other Peak Masters led the entire army towards the Xuan Yin Sect.

Since the decision was made by everyone together, it naturally had to be carried out; otherwise, without a leader, the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s army might not be able to secure victory in this battle.

The Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s forces were well-organized: scout battalions specialized in terrain observation, the Spiritual Formation Camp that focused on Talisman Inscriptions and formations, the Warship Battalion that engaged with ship-mounted artillery, and the Battle Eagle Squad that used Thunder Chasing Arrow Feathers.

With these forces working in collaboration, the Peak Masters of the Jade Cauldron Sect commanded the battlefield.

After fierce fighting, the Jade Cauldron Kingdom gained the upper hand, forcing the Xuan Yin Sect to retreat step by step, starting from the outer perimeter, gradually being conquered.

Given the pace of the battle, it might not be long before the entire Xuan Yin Sect would be swallowed up.

"Damn it, wasn’t the Jade Cauldron Kingdom just a Third-Class Vassal State before? How could they possess such a formidable army?"

"What exactly are those things in those fellows’ hands? Those bows and arrows are too lethal. Our troops simply can’t withstand their attacks."

"Order the charge, everyone must fight with their lives. If we do not destroy the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s archer army, we absolutely cannot win this battle."

The commander of the Xuan Yin Sect’s forces, upon witnessing the tactics of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s army, immediately issued the command.

When Xuan Yin Sect’s army heard this command, they were incredibly shocked, but it seemed that was the only way for them to win at this point.

After all, once the Thunderbolt Arrow Feathers were shot by the Jade Cauldron Kingdom, they would cause massive explosions among their ranks. Subsequently, the army of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom advanced like a hot knife through butter, reducing the Xuan Yin Sect’s control from initially a hundred cities to now only fifty.

Facing these continuous defeats, the Xuan Yin Sect adjusted their tactics. Their Martial Artists used Formation techniques to form a massive Tortoise Shell Formation and shielded themselves within it, desperately charging towards the Battle Eagle Squad of the Jade Cauldron Sect. Despite this, the Xuan Yin Sect’s forces still suffered significant losses while enduring the attacks.

In their estimation, while these archers had powerful long-range capabilities, their close-quarters combat should be comparably weaker. Xu Ma’an saw through this, and a smug smile appeared on his lips.

Hiss—

Hiss—

As the Xuan Yin Sect’s army used shields for defense, enduring the damage from Thunder Chasing Strike and approached the Battle Eagle Squad, intending to slaughter those archers one by one, suddenly, nearly thirty percent of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s archer forces, armed with Weapons, began to engage in close combat with the advancing army of the Xuan Yin Sect. Their melee combat abilities were far superior to those of the Xuan Yin Sect’s forces.

"Damn it, those bastards predicted that we would approach them and had already positioned soldiers with strong close combat abilities among those archers."

"Cunning, they are just too cunning."

The leader of the Xuan Yin Sect’s forces roared in anger at that moment.

But this was a battlefield, a clash of life and death. If not for cunning strategies, would fairness even be discussed?

After successive clashes, the Xuan Yin Sect’s casualties increased, turning the battlefield into a river of blood and a field of corpses.

Although individual fighters of the Xuan Yin Sect were far stronger than those of the Jade Cauldron Sect, the latter’s forces were finely equipped and trained, with excellent coordination between formations. Their combat strength was not the least bit weaker than the armies of the Xuan Yin Sect, and when working together in formation, the forces of Xuan Yin Sect couldn’t compare with the Jade Cauldron Kingdom.

However, the leaders of the Xuan Yin Sect were not without their command abilities.

While he had ordered a full-on assault on the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s Battle Eagle Squad, he simultaneously secretly deployed a portion of his forces with Heavy-Class Magical Treasures to bombard the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s warships. Although it did not destroy them, the attacks blasted several large holes, affecting the operations of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom’s warships.

The Xuan Yin Sect had also realized that the might of the Jade Cauldron Kingdom did not stem solely from the Battle Eagle Squad’s archers but also from the artillery on the warships, causing tremendous damage to their forces.

Now that some warships were damaged, they could finally catch their breath.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away from the battlefield where the Jade Cauldron Kingdom and Xuan Yin Sect were fighting, two groups of people were observing the ongoing battle.

These two parties were none other than people from the Shuanghan Royal Family and the Seven Kings Alliance.

The leader of the Shuanghan Royal Family’s group was named Liu Yun, while the Seven Kings Alliance was headed by Mo Long.

Neither side dared to get too close to the battlefield to avoid being affected by the conflict.

At this moment, the observation of these two groups of people was naturally noted by both the Xuan Yin Sect and the Jade Cauldron Kingdom.
